# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
03 - Dip each avocado wedge in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in almond flour mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
04 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
05 - Pat steak cubes dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in a single layer and sear 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned with pink interior. Remove and set aside.
06 - Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to skillet and melt. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Return steak bites to skillet, toss to coat in garlic butter, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
07 - Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, shave zucchinis into thin ribbons. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
08 - Arrange steak bites on plates with avocado fries and zucchini ribbons on the side. Serve immediately while steak bites are hot.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get steak restaurant quality in your own kitchen without the guilt or the carb load.
  • Those crispy avocado fries are addictive enough that people won't believe they're actually good for you.
  • The whole meal takes less time than scrolling through takeout menus, and tastes infinitely better.
02 -
  • Never skip patting your steak dry; moisture is what keeps you from getting that gorgeous caramelized crust that makes this dish actually worth making.
  • Don't walk away from the avocado fries in the oven; they go from golden to burnt in about 90 seconds, and you'll want to catch that perfect moment.
  • If you're using bottled lemon juice instead of fresh, use half the amount because the acidity tastes harsh and artificial compared to fresh citrus.
03 -
  • Cut your steak into uniform 1-inch cubes so everything cooks at the same rate; uneven pieces mean some are overcooked while others are rare.
  • If avocados are slightly underripe, bread and bake them immediately; they'll soften just enough during cooking to be perfect instead of mushy.
